Deck Description

A Black, Green, White version of the Melira/ Phyrexian Unlife combo. Please let me know what you think/ if you have any recommended additions or changes. Also I'm looking for some cards in my sideboard to help me deal with planeswalkers and opponents enchantments, any ideas?

Deck discussion for Melira's Shadow

A little low on creatures for Postmortem and Triumph, me thinks, but I like the idea. Maybe toss in a Moltensteel Dragon?

My original plan with postmortem was to use it as a late game 2 drop to get in with a death's shadow. Triumph was there in case they had blockers. But now that you mention it i do like the idea of just pumping as much as i want into a dragon and not caring.

just had it brought to my attention that once you reach 0 life you no longer have life to pay into phyrexian mana. however i still think the dragon might work as a one turn smasher / self damage to make death's shadow stronger.

Definately drop zenith and day of judgement. They're utterly worthless when Melira is out as u cant have her die. In fact, ditch the black mana all together. Extraction and Postmortem are both Phyrexian mana, which doesn't matter as u can't die.

Moltensteel dragon is a great idea, but a better one would b soul conduit. u die, stay alive with unlife, use conduit to give them ur 0 life, and viola, win.

And Hex Parasite is great against planeswalkers.

Reread Merila. "Creatures you control can't have -1/-1 counters put on them." Meaning that Black Sun's will only effect enemy creatures.

Oh and u can still spend phyrexian mana with 0 life. Note: Unlife says when u have "0 or less life"

zenith doesnt kill malira or my creatures because it gives creatures -1/-1 counters. as for the phyrexian mana, if you dont have enough life to cast the spell you cant pay life into it. and i keep the black mana because having a 13+/13+ creature for 1 mana sounds like a good thing. haha

oh yeah forgot abt shadow.

But zenith will kill melira bcuz having 1 -1/-1 counter on creatures won't do much unless they're aggro, and anymore counters than that and melira is dead.

Melira's ability is creatures you control can't have -1/-1 counters placed on them. Problem solved.
